Ethanol-Based Extraction of Annatto (Bixa Orellana L.) and Characterization of the Bixin and Norbixin [PDF]
ACS OmegaBixa orellana dye was extracted from the seeds by the method of Soxhlet extraction using ethanol where a percentage yield of 31.4 was obtained. Recrystallization of the dye was performed using chloroform and ethanol to increase the degree of purity. Thin layer chromatography was used to separate the dye into Bixin and Norbixin with Rf values of 0.56 ...

Structural analysis of unstable norbixin isomers guided by pure shift nuclear magnetic resonance
Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, 2022 Abstract We report the analysis of complex samples obtained during the microwave irradiation/heating of norbixin, which has been identified as a potential therapeutic target for age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). In this context, identifying the different isomers that are obtained during its degradation is of
